This had an absolutely wonderful smell while cooking. It was a lot of work in that I did not have any of the "specialty" items needed prepared ahead of time but now know that this would be something to keep on hand at all times when cooking this type of African food! It was delicious for sure and I am only giving this 4 stars because of the extra work involved for the spice mix and the spiced butter. But I"m so glad I made this while travelling through Africa with my Babes on the ZWT4.
